[pianotech] Economist Article

[Jlmatt at aol.com]

There is one element missing in this experiment:
We don't know how well the violins were set up ( "regulated" and "voiced"  
in piano tech language). 
A Stradivarius with cheap strings, bad sound post adjustment and  poorly 
cut bridge will probably sound worse and feel worse than any $800  plywood 
Chinese violin you can find on ebay.

Check out the article in the Economist about a month  or two ago comparing 
the sound of various vintage violins against new ones. A  blind listening 
experiment. I won't ruin it by telling you which ones came out  ahead.
